arm64: protect alternatives workarounds with Kconfig options

Not all of the errata we have workarounds for apply necessarily to all
SoCs, so people compiling a kernel for one very specific SoC may not
need to patch the kernel.
Introduce a new submenu in the "Platform selection" menu to allow
people to turn off certain bugs if they are not affected. By default
all of them are enabled.
Normal users or distribution kernels shouldn't bother to deselect any
bugs here, since the alternatives framework will take care of
patching them in only if needed.

config ARM64_ERRATUM_826319
bool "Cortex-A53: 826319: System might deadlock if a write cannot complete until read data is accepted"
default y
help
This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
erratum 826319 on Cortex-A53 parts up to r0p2 with an AMBA 4 ACE or
AXI master interface and an L2 cache.
If a Cortex-A53 uses an AMBA AXI4 ACE interface to other processors
and is unable to accept a certain write via this interface, it will
not progress on read data presented on the read data channel and the
system can deadlock.
The workaround promotes data cache clean instructions to
data cache clean-and-invalidate.
Please note that this does not necessarily enable the workaround,
as it depends on the alternative framework, which will only patch
the kernel if an affected CPU is detected.
If unsure, say Y.
config ARM64_ERRATUM_827319
bool "Cortex-A53: 827319: Data cache clean instructions might cause overlapping transactions to the interconnect"
default y
help
This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
erratum 827319 on Cortex-A53 parts up to r0p2 with an AMBA 5 CHI
master interface and an L2 cache.
Under certain conditions this erratum can cause a clean line eviction
to occur at the same time as another transaction to the same address
on the AMBA 5 CHI interface, which can cause data corruption if the
interconnect reorders the two transactions.
The workaround promotes data cache clean instructions to
data cache clean-and-invalidate.
Please note that this does not necessarily enable the workaround,
as it depends on the alternative framework, which will only patch
the kernel if an affected CPU is detected.
If unsure, say Y.
config ARM64_ERRATUM_824069
bool "Cortex-A53: 824069: Cache line might not be marked as clean after a CleanShared snoop"
default y
help
This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
erratum 824069 on Cortex-A53 parts up to r0p2 when it is connected
to a coherent interconnect.
If a Cortex-A53 processor is executing a store or prefetch for
write instruction at the same time as a processor in another
cluster is executing a cache maintenance operation to the same
address, then this erratum might cause a clean cache line to be
incorrectly marked as dirty.
The workaround promotes data cache clean instructions to
data cache clean-and-invalidate.
Please note that this option does not necessarily enable the
workaround, as it depends on the alternative framework, which will
only patch the kernel if an affected CPU is detected.
If unsure, say Y.
config ARM64_ERRATUM_819472
bool "Cortex-A53: 819472: Store exclusive instructions might cause data corruption"
default y
help
This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
erratum 819472 on Cortex-A53 parts up to r0p1 with an L2 cache
present when it is connected to a coherent interconnect.
If the processor is executing a load and store exclusive sequence at
the same time as a processor in another cluster is executing a cache
maintenance operation to the same address, then this erratum might
cause data corruption.
The workaround promotes data cache clean instructions to
data cache clean-and-invalidate.
Please note that this does not necessarily enable the workaround,
as it depends on the alternative framework, which will only patch
the kernel if an affected CPU is detected.
If unsure, say Y.
config ARM64_ERRATUM_832075
bool "Cortex-A57: 832075: possible deadlock on mixing exclusive memory accesses with device loads"
default y
help
This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
erratum 832075 on Cortex-A57 parts up to r1p2.
Affected Cortex-A57 parts might deadlock when exclusive load/store
instructions to Write-Back memory are mixed with Device loads.
The workaround is to promote device loads to use Load-Acquire
semantics.
Please note that this does not necessarily enable the workaround,
as it depends on the alternative framework, which will only patch
the kernel if an affected CPU is detected.
If unsure, say Y.
